Area of Science:

Medical Imaging Analysis
Artificial Intelligence in Oncology
Computer-Aided Diagnosis

Background:

Lung cancer poses a significant global health threat, with high mortality rates.
Early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient survival but relies on time-consuming and error-prone expert interpretation of CT scans.
Distinguishing benign from malignant pulmonary nodules is challenging, often leading to invasive biopsies for non-cancerous cases.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system.
To automatically classify pulmonary nodules as either benign or malignant using medical imaging data.
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of lung cancer diagnosis, reducing the need for invasive procedures.

Main Methods:

The study proposes a novel CNN architecture, adapted from the AlexNet model, incorporating modifications in layer ordering, hyperparameters, and functions.
Extensive pre-processing steps, including segmentation, normalization, and zero centering, were applied to the dataset to optimize model training.
The system was trained and validated on a dataset of pulmonary nodule images.

Main Results:

The proposed CNN-based system achieved high performance metrics: 98.7% accuracy, 98.6% sensitivity, and 98.9% specificity.
The modified AlexNet architecture demonstrated superior performance compared to the original AlexNet model.
The system effectively classified pulmonary nodules, showing high sensitivity in nodule analysis.

Conclusions:

The developed CNN-based CAD system offers a highly accurate and efficient method for classifying pulmonary nodules.
This automated approach has the potential to significantly improve early lung cancer detection and reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.
The modified AlexNet architecture provides a robust framework for advanced medical image analysis in oncology.
